Sentences with phrase «characteristic of the temperature record»

10 °C rises in global average temperatures have not only occurred during the last 600 million years, but they are the defining characteristic of the temperature record over that time.

Not exact matches

Here, we report on local and global changes in MHW characteristics over time as recorded by satellite and in situ measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) and defined using a quantitative MHW framework, which allows for comparisons across regions and events1.

This study provides a characteristic archive of arctic lake ontogeny and a valuable temperature record from a remote climate - sensitive area of northern Russia.

Result: the temperature record we use to define climate contains a random mix of these records with distinctly different characteristics — the ones with 7PM observing time tend to produce warmer climate estimates, the ones with 7AM observing time tend to be colder.

As valuable as the temperature record may be, the real treasure buried in the ice is a record of the atmosphere's characteristics.

If the record had been a tropical jungle or sea I'd have considered my hypothesis falsfied but so far every prediction made by it fits what has been observed with the sole exception of the Antarctic interior but that may be due to exceptional characteristics such as the strong polar vortex, ozone hole, and a temperature far lower than anywhere else on the planet.

«We evaluate to what extent the temperature rise in the past 100 years was a trend or a natural fluctuation and analyze 2249 worldwide monthly temperature records from GISS (NASA) with the 100 - year period covering 1906 - 2005 and the two 50 - year periods from 1906 to 1955 and 1956 to 2005... The data document a strong urban heat island eff ect (UHI) and a warming with increasing station elevation... About a quarter of all the records for the 100 - year period show a fall in temperatures... that the observed temperature records are a combination of long - term correlated records with an additional trend, which is caused for instance by anthropogenic CO2, the UHI or other forcings... As a result, the probabilities that the observed temperature series are natural have values roughly between 40 % and 90 %, depending on the stations characteristics and the periods considered.»

As I have been noting, ad nauseum, anthropogenically caused / managed energy flux, and anthropogenic modifications of surfaces, flora and other environmental characteristics, are a specific term (or set of them) affecting the overall energy balance and apparent surface and low tropospheric temperature record.

Like a growing number of extreme weather events, an increase in the number of record - high temperatures — and a concomitant decrease in the number of record lows — is characteristic of a warming world.

So the repainting of thousands of Stevenson screens worldwide with paints of uncertain infrared characteristics was another bias that has crept into the instrumental temperature records.
